OK, this is seriously scary. We are on the 16th floor (and what a relief to leave the one-storey America behind for a while). So I went out to the balcony to admire the view.
A big sea-gull was passing by but when it saw me, it literally stopped in the air. For what felt like a full minute, the sea-gull stayed almost motionless in the air, observing me with a curious, round eye. I was so unprepared for this that I didn’t even take a photo of the whole thing for my blog. The face of a bird in flight is truly worth observing.
I’ve heard of people who look so good, they stop the traffic. Have you ever heard, however, of people whose appearance (on a balcony) can stop birds in mid-flight?

As disappointing as this may be, but it was probably more evaluating your belongings for their edibility then checking you out 🙂
Whatever you do, don’t feed them. I don’t know the seagulls down there, but the ones around Germany’s northern coast are vicious beast that won’t leave you alone if you make the mistake to feed them. I have heard stories of people who were being followed by them for days.
